    SOME THOUGHTS ON TODAY’S GOSPEL                            

Today's Gospel again comes from the Gospel of John. Like last week,  today we hear words spoken by Jesus before his death and Resurrection. Jesus is teaching at the Last Supper. John's Gospel does not include an institution of the Eucharist  narrative; instead, Jesus washes his disciples' feet. Immediately after,  Jesus predicts his betrayal by Judas. Today's Gospel follows that prediction. It can be read as a continuing explanation of Jesus' act of washing his disciples' feet. It begins with the announcement that this is the moment when the Son of Man will be glorified. This theme continues throughout John's Passion. Jesus will be glorified in his death on the cross and in his Resurrection, and the disciples will glorify Jesus in the love they show.

 

 

Fifth Sunday of Easter

LITURGY OF THE WORD

 

1st READING ACTS 14:21-27 

(Conversion of the Gentiles)

The life we have through faith is not easy. We must struggle against many difficulties, even temptations, on our journey to eternal life.

 

                              RESPONSORIAL PSALM  PS 145                             

(The Kingdom of God)

“I will praise your name forever, my king and my God”

 

2nd READING REVELATIONS 21: 1-5a

(God’s Dwelling)

In the kingdom of God, All things are made new.

 

THE GOSPEL OF JOHN 13:31-33a, 34-35

(The New Commandment)

Jesus is about to be betrayed yet he teaches us the way to glory - the way he will go. It is a way of love.

speak to God. During Mass, let God speak to you. After Mass,

speak to one another.
